So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Cheap and simple: surge protectors. Accidents happen, and a power surge can kill a lot of equipment, better to keep it safe.

I recently had a situation where one killed my stove, dishwasher, smart lights, kitchen lights, rgb controllers, and subwoofer. Our computers have surge protectors, fortunately.

My landlord replaced the damaged items. But they could've been saved with 20$ worth of surge protectors.

On that note: I gotta buy more!
